A Dutch cheese counter on Hornsgatan
Gamla Amsterdam is an independent specialty shop on Hornsgatan in Mariatorget, and the first thing you notice is how much of the shop is given over to cheese. The Dutch range is the centre of it, and it is what brings you through the door.
Start with the Dutch cheeses. That is the reason to come, and the ones to buy if you want something to take home. The gift packages are worth your attention: packaged cheeses put together as presents, with the wrapping and presentation part of what you are paying for.
How the shop works is simple. You come in, you look over the cheese, and the staff guide you through it, matching cheeses to drinks and to combinations you might not have tried, such as cheese with marmalades or with wine. Tastings of cheese and wine are held too, in a cosy setting with a presentation that walks you through what is in front of you.
The shop keeps short hours: Tuesday to Friday 11 am to 6 pm, Saturday 11 am to 5 pm, and it is closed Sunday and Monday. Plan a weekday or Saturday visit rather than a Sunday one, and come with time to talk through the cheese rather than to grab and go.
If you are here for the Dutch cheeses, the gift packages and the advice on what pairs with what, the shop still delivers that.
